Oh MaryEllen, I know I sent you condolences on FB... but I'm hoping that all is going well for you and your family and especially your mom...
Thanks Patricia. My mom is actually doing pretty well. I think the paperwork and financial stuff is overwhelming her and she misses my dad, but mentally she seems better. She is so much less stressed. Thank you for asking.
I'm working on catching up
& just got through the end of Beaufort and HHI and you've come home ... but haven't gone to Disney yet...
You're not that far behind. My first 24 hours took me like 4 installments to write. Just get caught up when you can. I was hoping to be a little farther on this TR before our October trip, but we'll see how much I can get down in the next 4 weeks.
I miss Savannah and Charleston and so definitely have to get to HHI... I love the fact that the points are pretty reasonable during the "off season" which is most of the year besides the summer...
I agree. The points are definitely reasonable. I was there in late October and the weather was absolutely perfect, most of the restaurants were open, and the beach was lovely. In April it was more crowded and the weather was equally lovely.
Gorgeous photos of Beaufort... I love that you bride stalked... better than reality tv...
Totally not intentional, but once I saw that first bride it was "on". It was just too much fun checking them out.
Enjoyed seeing Nick's graduation photos... I know you miss him... I miss my baby girl... It's harder than I thought it would be...
I really do miss him. I didn't think I would. I was not prepared. The day after he left I mopped around ALL day. I can't imagine how I would feel if he was further away. He can home for one night over Labor Day because it was so stinking hot and he wanted a bike. Then we took him out for dinner on Sunday night so I got to see him for about an hour. I have decided that I want to pick a new restaurant on main street in Newark once a month and take him out to dinner.
We had lunch at BOG last week, ate in the room with the rose. That room was so cool as were the other rooms. Somehow I missed those knights, for got to look for them. We had a fast pass for lunch & had preordered our food. There was quite a line, but we breezed right in ahead of the line.
Very cool! I really want to go back and eat in the West Wing. It is so very cool. I also want to get a FP for lunch. We get magic bands at the end of our trip, but not the beginning.
You got some great pictures considering how dark it was in there.
Thanks!
We missed HM this year, another reason to visit WDW again!
Oh NO! You did? You're right - just another reason to visit next year and now that you are hooked on AKL concierge, well you've got it made. I hope you had a wonderful time and I hope you do a TR.
You too can learn all of those history terms. Just have a large library of history books of all kinds & be a voracious reader of said books! LOL
Yup - that will never happen!
COP if you sit in the back row and keep the camera down they don’t say anything. I did that and someone in the 3rd row was busted once. LOL
Great COP pics.
I got busted once and I think I may have BEEN in the third row.
So the back is the trick. Noted!
I agree about the feeding duck rule. We need to enforce it. LOL
Those darn little beggars. They are hard to resist.
That is funny how empty it was but I would have been mad.
It was just odd. It filled up more as we were eating, but it never got completely full. There is always a wait there so I pretty much expected it.
Nice pics in HM. Mine never come out.
Thanks. Your pictures are always great, so I find that hard to believe. I took my lens off auto focus and some of my pictures did turn out better focusing manually.
Was the backpack supposed to be a turtle shell? LOL
I have NO idea. I guess so. A turtle shell with warts!
We love Narcosse’s. So good.
I am going to make an ADR there next year for our 25th. I think that will be fun.
I say who cares where you park. If they frown on it too much they would have stricter rules to enforce it. You were fine.
My thoughts exactly. If it was a problem they would limit the parking. I mention it because outside of the TR boards people get really fired up about that kind of stuff.
I am another one who has no problem with you parking at the Poly - been there, done that.
I know a lot of us have. I mention it because I know that people outside of the TR boards like to give out a lot of flack for this. I agree with what Scott said - if they didn't want you to do it, they wouldn't let you part there.
Great update - I just started to get our photos in order yesterday (we took about 9000 over the 33 days we were in Florida) and funnily enough I was looking through our BoG ones too.
OMG! 9000?
You are going to be a very, very busy girl.
Good luck getting all of those edited. From a purely selfish point, I can't wait to see them!
The interior is pretty neat, isn't it? We have been for lunch and dinner and liked both.
Glad you enjoyed both your meals there. I really love the interior. It was SO well done. Really takes dining to another level.
